Satellite images of Earth, city lights at night

NASA has released images of Earth at night from the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership satellite that is orbiting 512 miles above the Earth’s surface. The agency stitched some of these images together to create a composite image of the entire planet. They call it the Black Marble.

Not dazzling, not breathtaking, not beautiful. Appalling. Beyond the obvious incredible waste of energy lighting up a night sky that needs no help from humans, this spewing of light is doing terrible harm to countless innocent life forms on the planet, perhaps even our own. These pictures should gag you, not impress you.
